Pattern Student Meetup in Indianapolis (Local Careers in Fashion/Textiles)


In 2013, Pattern wants to reach as many local college students who are dreaming of a career in art, creative direction, or fashion as we can! Our goal is to show them that the local fashion/textile industry is real, viable and offers some great, entry-level opportunities. Why leave for the coast the moment you graduate to live in a 400sqf apartment with 5 other people, when you can get your feet wet locally and still live at home...for free? ;-)

Whether you're passionate about PR, marketing, writing, styling, photography, merchandizing, design or something else, Indianapolis has something to offer you!

Want to know some of your options? Then come to this meetup! We'll have a panel of cool speakers - industry pros as well as recent graduates who will share their internship experiences. You'll be able to chat with all these people face-to-face after the panel and pick up internship applications as well.

Pass/Fail Deadline for First Eight Week Classes

TUESDAY, JANUARY 22nd is the last day to sign up to take a first eight week class pass/fail.

If you are interested in taking a class pass/fail, please stop by my office (in the CMCL building at 800 E. 3rd Street, room 259) so we can complete the required paperwork.

Here is some information about the pass/fail option from the College of Arts and Sciences Bulletin (http://www.indiana.edu/~bulletin/iub/college/2012-2013/policies/academic-policies/pass-fail.shtml): "During their undergraduate program, students in good standing (not on probation) may enroll in a maximum of eight elective courses to be taken with a grade of P (Pass) or F (Fail). The Pass/Fail option is available for a maximum of two courses per academic year, including summer sessions. For the Pass/Fail option, the academic year is defined as beginning with the start of the fall semester and ending with the end of the second summer session. The course selected for Pass/Fail must be an elective (i.e., it cannot fulfill requirements other than the minimum 122 hours required for the degree, but it can be used to meet the requirement for courses at the 300–400 level). It may not be used to satisfy any of the College of Arts and Sciences Foundations, Intensive Writing, Foreign Language, Breadth of Inquiry, Culture Studies, or Critical Approaches to the Arts and Sciences requirements. Nor may it be counted as a part of the student’s concentration area, minor, or certificate program. During the freshman year, students may elect to take activity courses in the School of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation on a Pass/Fail basis in addition to the two other permitted courses."
